Melbourne trouble makers tour
Duration:
Operated By:
Criminals, prostitutes, activists, artists. Melbourne is Australia’s vibrant epicentre of politics, art, and culture—and it also happens to be home to the country’s biggest troublemakers. As you experience Melbourne’s eclectic side, your guide will tell tales about hushed criminals, union activists, hippies, and artists who once dwelled in these parts of Melbourne. These colourful characters were notorious troublemakers who lived against the law and shaped the creative and activist scene that still thrives in Melbourne today.
On this alternative tour, you’ll walk from the State Library of Victoria to Smith Street in Fitzroy, through colourful laneways and to glorified hipster hotspots along the way. On vibrant Brunswick Street, famous for its dangerous history, we’ll explore a stretch of alterative pubs, funky vintage shops, creative cafes, and eye-catching street art. We’ll stop for a drink at a hopelessly cool Melbourne pub, where you can catch unexpected views over the city. Interested in lingering a bit longer in the coolest part of Melbourne? Stay a while after the tour to wander the streets, browse through shops, and grab a bite to eat or another drink or two at one of Fitzroy’s funky establishments.

The next day my husband and I spent 12 magical hours along the ocean Road as well as the rainforest and saw the 12 apostles. Along our adventure, Ben, our guide pointed out geology history, Wildlife. It was an adventure of a lifetime and exceeded all of our expectations. Culture quest made memories for us that will last a lifetime.
On our second day, he drove us to three wineries and to the Four pillars Gin distillery in the Yarra Valley. He carefully chose wineries to give us a different experience at each one. He made careful choices and we appreciated each one. Lunch at Souah was delicious as were their wines. Oak Ridge also had quality wines and a beautiful setting. Chandon gave us a distilling wine experience.
Ben is an amazing guide! We appreciated the friendship we felt that he extended to us. He was very respectful of our needs and attended to us so well. We will keep the warmest of memories of our time shared on this trip always in our minds’ photo book of our Australia trip. He is not only a great guide, but a wonderful person! His knowledge base, punctuality, kindness, comfortableness, humor, patience and engaging manner are unsurpassed. We would highly recommend him for any tour!
It felt more like exploring the city with a friend than being on a guided tour. Highly recommend booking with Ben if you want a fun, insightful, and personal experience in Melbourne!
Our tour guide Kenny was knowledgeable and easy to talk with but also not overly chatty. He was excellent at spotting wild life and knew the areas visited. We also appreciated that he kept us on time without being too stringent. He was a great communicator, clear on the stops and answered our countless questions.
Very glad we rearranged our schedule to take the tour and highly recommend the experience.
Too good, much recommended!!
The day ended beautifully and I am really grateful to Ben for providing this world class service to my son and I.
What an itinerary! What an experience!! Will definitely recommend Ben to my friends who wants to visit Melbourne!!! Thank you Culture Quest Tours, thank you Ben!
We would highly recommend using Ben and his team, for a truly personal experience. Thanks Ben
